With DrumWalker 1.4 you are only a few clicks away from getting a REALLY impressive drum track! Welcome to the Walk to Vegas with DrumWalker 1.4!

Overview
DrumWalker 1.4 - is a MIDI FX plug-in, which can be used in Off-Line mode. DrumWalker enables you to convert a standard MIDI track into a Sonic Foundry Vegas Drums project. By selecting a drum track in Cakewalk and launching DrumWalker you can very easily assign your WAV-files (up to 3 Mb in size!) as samples for each drum and start Vegas. As the result you get a separate track for each individual drum in Vegas and separate clips for each drum stroke, whereas the loudness of a clip is calculated individually on the basis of the Velocity parameter. Besides DrumWalker makes it possible to define the following settings which can be used in the Vegas project:

• Control of the Sample dynamics with the help of three modes: Normalizer, Expander, Ultra-Maximizer
• Attack and release time for each drum
• Interaction of Front Attack and Back Release parameters with the time interval between the played notes of the same drums
• Interaction of Front Attack and Back Release parameters with the Velocity
• Independent Envelope control (Soft, Line, Hard, Smart) of the Attack and Release for each drum; automatic generation of the envelope in Smart mode based on the Velocity parameter
• Pitch Shift in the range -12 to +12 semi-tones for each drum

Each Vegas track can be processed by DirectX Plug-ins. The obtained result is later mixed down by Vegas into a stereo WAV-file for subsequent insertion into any unoccupied Cakewalk audio track, if necessary.

Sonic Foundry Vegas in combination with DrumWalker 1.4 can be used not only as a multichannel mixdown software, but also as a professional quality drum "sampler". The unique feature of such a sampler is a wide dynamic range and extremely flexible channel-by-channel editing of every sample for each note of the MIDI part in the process of the final mixdown.
